Our understanding of you

At GMH Legal, we make sure that our clients are fully informed about our legal costs.

The first consultation with us will be at no charge or obligation to you. For many legal matters like conveyancing, immigration law & Wills, the initial consultation is possible either by phone or in person and is always free.

We know that unless we provide you with excellent representation and service at a reasonable cost you will not refer your friends and family to us.

That is why in most legal matters we fix our legal costs so that you will be completely satisfied with us when we obtain a great result for you.

Where it is not possible to fix our costs we will be open and honest about the costs and disbursements we charge. You will be provided with a realistic estimate of what your matter is going to cost at the initial conference. In the event that you decide not to use us we will not charge you for the initial conference, provided you advise us at the completion of the initial conference.

Our costs can often be reduced, if our client‘s assist us in the preparation of their matter.

At the start of each matter, we will provide a written costs disclosure and agreement setting out details of our charges, both the legal costs and the ‘out of pocket’ expenses.

For some matters, like a standard sale or purchase of property, a lease or a Will, once we know what you require us to do, we will be able to provide you with a fixed fee setting out exactly what the legal costs will be for your matter.

For other more complex matters such as Civil or Commercial Litigation, Family Law Matters, Defended Criminal Law matters and Family Provision Act claims (if you have been left out of a Will or left inadequate provision in a Will) it is not possible to precisely predict what the whole matter will eventually cost. The total cost could depend on when the claim is resolved or finalized . We will always make sure that you know in advance what each stage will cost.
